We seem to have been on TV pretty frequently of late.
Anybody got any idea how much money has swelled our coffers?

It's not much.... £80K maybe? Every Championship team gets a flat £5mil per season and will be covered a few times each. So a team on TV several times might make a few hundred thousand more than a team only on for the bare minimum but it's not life changing money and majority of teams who don't make play-offs will get more or less the same at end of season. -
I read that they get £75k which is quite pathetic when compared to the £3m Premiership clubs get. I know the viewing figures are lower, but would have thought at least £150k would have been better. This is one of the reasons many Championship clubs were angry with the FL negotiators who agreed the deal.Comment

For the Home team it is £100k and for the away team £10k. On top each club receives the same basic award of £2.084m regardless of where they finish.Comment

Yeah but it's an auction of TV right isn't it? Broadcasters bunged their bids in, Sky/Quest won and the amount gets divvied up. I'm sure teams would prefer £1 mil to £100K but if the winning bid is X amount there's only so much to share about.
The Championship does give every team the same basic amount and does not taper payment dependent on final placing in League - I think that's pretty good but I can imagine 'big' teams up the top moaning they should get more than 'minnows' down the bottom. Oh, as well as TV money all teams get a Solidarity Payment of £3 mil from Premiere League - that's why I quoted annual payment of £5 mil per club in Championship: TV money + Solidarity Payment.Comment
